Pratilipi

Pratilipi is India’s largest self-publishing platform for readers and writers of Indian languages.

The platform caters to the needs of the next half a billion internet users in India, with a mission to create an engaged community connecting millions of readers and writers in local languages. Millions of people in India and across the world are using Pratilipi to discover, express and share their stories in the language they love.

ONI Impact Thesis

By creating a self-publishing platform in over 10 local languages, Pratilipi is addressing barriers that the NHB, and in particular women, face in going online and realising the power of the internet. Besides enabling thousands of Indian language writers to augment their income by monetising their IP across multiple formats, Pratilipi is an important proof-point in creating an inclusive and trusted online space for women.
